Laurel Hill Valley neighbors save resources
The Laurel Hill Valley Neighbors just held a neighborhood picnic with over 170 people. Event organizers managed to reduce their total waste (90 lbs.) by recycling (7 lbs.) and composting (72 lbs.) the vast majority of the waste. This was accomplished in part by using durable servingware and napkins for the event. In addition, they purchased or received donations of locally grown hot dogs, melons, chili, bread, and coffee.
Has your neighborhood association managed to reduce the amount of waste from events? Are there other things that we could do to reduce the impacts (driving, energy use, etc.) of our neighborhood events?
